Punjab University Law College
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Punjab University Law College is the oldest law institute in Pakistan. It was established in 1868.[1]
After being founded in 1868 under the auspices of the literary club Anjuman I Punjab, the college became a constituent part of the University of the Punjab in 1870.[2][3]
The college's original course of study was two years long and offered both in English and the vernacular language. No examinations were administered, because admittance to the practice of law was governed solely by examinations administered by the Punjab Chief Court.[2]
In 1873, the court's rules changed to require candidates for the bar to have passed university entrance examinations and the college introduced examinations.[2]
The course of study was eventually extended to three years.[2] It was extended to five years for an LLB beginning in 2016 under the Pakistan Bar Council Legal Education Rules, 2015.[4]
As of 2013, the college had approximately 1,600 students.[2]
